Abstract
“ACHEMA” is the Ausstellung fur chemisches Apparatewesen, the seventh of which is to be held at Cologne on May 18-27 under the auspices of “Dechema”, the Deutsche Gesellschaft fur chemisches Apparatewesen. In anticipation of this exhibition the Achema-Jahrbuch 1931/1934, a report of some 230 pages on the position and development of the study and construction of chemical plant, has recently been published by Dechema at Seelze bei Hannover. Those who are interested in the exhibition and apply before May 10 can obtain a copy of the Jahr-buch, which is priced at 10 m., on sending only 0.40 m. to cover the cost of postage. The “Wissen-schaftlicher Teil” includes articles on the development of technique and plant construction, on standards in apparatus, on welding in the building of chemical plant, on instruments for the measurement of therapeutically active ultra-violet light emission, and on the Drawinol process for dehydrating ethyl alcohol. The “Technisch-industrieller Teil” contains information concerning constructional materials, laboratory apparatus, technical apparatus, plant and machinery. The book serves also as a guide to the exhibits. We are reminded that in describing the sixth exhibition held at Frankfurt-am-Main in 1930 we said that there could never have been a more comprehensive show of aids to chemical manipulation; at Cologne 300 firms will exhibit more than 2,000 types of apparatus and plant, so that the forthcoming exhibition is unlikely to be less valuable and impressive.
